About this property

A Dream by the Stream is a very private and rustic 2 Br/2Ba log cabin overlooking a bold stream on 10 beautiful and remote acres with walking trails, a pond with dock, campfire pit, and amazing garden stonescapes. Our 750 sq ft. Cabin offers WiFi, streaming TV, central AC and heat, fully stocked kitchen, coffee provided, towels, comfortable bed and quality linens. We are 1/2 mile from the North Fork of New River. It's a perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the mountains. Polite dogs welcome (limit 2) It's a perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy the mountains!
Please note: this is in Ashe County and while we are not on top of a mountain, the elevation is 3100 feet so we do get more wintery weather than a place like Asheville (which is only 2000 feet). The main roads are well maintained in the winter, and our gravel road is not very steep but you do need AWD/4WD in the winter in case of unpredictable snowy/icy conditions.
Note: the cabin is 20 minutes from Elk Knob State Park, 35 minutes from downtown Boone, 30 minutes from West Jefferson, 25 minutes from Mountain City, TN.
Also note: cell phone service is spotty in the mountains. Verizon covers most of Ashe County, but not all national carriers do. It's a good idea to set up wifi-enabled calling on your cell phone.

Excellent Vacation getaway

We enjoyed our vacation at this beautiful property, the scenery was breath taking. Melinda was a great host, it was easy to contact her for any reason. We enjoyed other sites nearby that were less than an hour away in any direction from the property. We will definitely be back.

My dogs and I enjoyed this peaceful escape

This really is a great place to get away and relax! The property is beautiful and tranquil. My dogs had a great time racing around the pond and exploring the woods and trails with me. The location is about 30 minutes from most towns, but we had fun exploring towns and visiting dog friendly wineries. The WiFi worked great as I did some work while there. The cabin is well equipped and very cozy. We will definitely go back!

Muddy ride

We reserved to ride the VA Creeper trail. It rained most of the weekend, but the cabin was still perfect. All necessities available and then some. Beautiful property. We would like to come again when it's warmer - maybe july?

Perfection

We wanted a short getaway for Father’s Day weekend and visiting our son at Appalachian State during his summer internship. We could not have wished for a better property! Absolute perfection. Melinda was very thoughtful with communication. We will definitely be booking this property again in the future.

Pet friendly paradise.

Very hard to find a rental that allows pets, especially large breed dogs, and this beautiful cabin on 10 acres was absolutely perfect and pet friendly. The property was just as listed and the owners took extra care to make sure we had everything we could need for our stay including a personalized firewood bin for our winter stay, not to mention being very prompt with any questions or concerns that we had. Can't recommend enough, we had an incredible stay here.

Peaceful seclusion

This cabin is fantastic. We had everything we needed and throughly enjoyed our stay. The nature trails were a plus, along with an authentic babbling brook. The dogs loved to roam the ten acres and we didn’t have to worry about their safety. If you are seeking a beautiful and secluded cabin, this is an excellent choice.

Fantastic getaway

A Dream by the Stream surpasses it's name. We absolutely love this cabin and grounds! We felt at home the moment we arrived. The cabin is decorated so tastefully and immaculate. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed just like at home. We couldn't have been more pleased with our host. She was fantastic. This was our first experience with Vrbo. Will be planning many more adventures in the future.

Beautiful landscaping, peace and quiet exists in this mountain retreat! Lots of birds, hooting owls and a chipmunk to enjoy. A “ fairy trail” to explore, imaginative detail in design.

Our second stay at this terrific retreat!

Loved the log cabin which was clean, well stocked and perfectly decorated. Appreciated the extra touches such as the flowers, candy and snack basket. Nature abounds in a peaceful, well planned retreat which includes a fairy trail. Love the secluded setting by the pond, babbling creek and wildlife. Truly a Dream by the Stream. We look forward to a return visit.

great cabin & private property

We adored this cabin & the surrounding land! We trail ran with the dogs every day & were inspired to decorate our own trails with such cute decor. The pond & streams were also very impressive- makes us want to return in the Summer months! The accommodations were more than ample & allowed us the mountain privacy that we love. The cabin is a distance from other entertainment, but that was the point in renting such a private property!

Our new favorite getaway spot

We couldn't have picked a better location to celebrate our anniversary! This cabin is a little piece of heaven tucked away in acres of woods. The sound of the creek was so peaceful. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need. We were hoping to be snowed in so we could stay longer! We will definitely be back!

Family weekend

We had a really nice time. The home was really nice and very clean! The property is beautiful. We had such a relaxing time walking around the property, sitting by the fire pit. The grill is charcoal not gas. I might have missed that. Very prompt reply on any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a really great long weekend.
